Bought a five gallon jug of leaded 110 octane "VP" brand racing fuel. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)
My motor seems to have higher than stock compression. Lowest is 160 PSI. My speed shop guy says the valves will like the lead. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) Maybe I just like throwing money out my open windows at speed... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) KT |

as david said it can handle some more advance too, like 5 degress or so. but thats one of the reasons why you should mix it.
BTW poor mans race gas around where i live used to be airplane gas, at the time it was 115 octane, and they would sell it to anyone who put it in a marked fuel bottle that said off road gas only, and it was half the price of race gas. |
